May  9 2007

The cast of 'Ocean's Thirteen' are using the worldwide release of the summer blockbuster to pledge their support for relief efforts in Darfur.

George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and the rest of the cast are using their combined star power to shed light on the situation in western Sudan through the Not On Out Watch humanitarian alliance.

Producer Jerry Weintraub will throw a launch party for the organisation in Cannes two days before the 'Ocean's Thirteen' premiere, while there will also be special screenings of the film in Las Vegas and Chicago, with proceeds going to the cause.

Not On Our Watch has been set up to aid refugees who have escaped the war-torn region, to help protect those still living there and to increase international awarenesss of the situation.
